Seatbelt

Safety is important. Also in a doggie life. Danish media has been focusing on dog's safety in cars and how important it is to keep both pet and people safe that dogs are either in a cage or wearing a seat belt. To keep Kay safe and to keep us safe as well, we bought Kay a seat belt. Doesn't she look so so cute?

• English version:
  When we picked Kayleigh up, she was on my lap the entire way home and she was very curious and not at all afraid. The next long while when we brought her anywhere in the car, she was sitting in my lap - either looking out the windshield or just lying there sleeping. A few times, when it was hot she would go to the back seat or on the floor behind one of the front seats but she always started out cuddling with me.
  But then the media started posting a lot about how both persons and dogs could get seriously hurt if the dog was just sitting freely in the car and you had to break hard so we started to consider alternatives.
  We didn't want to put her in a cage in the trunk so we ended up with buying her a small cute seat belt.
  The first time she was wearing it, I sat next to her so she could get used to it but since then she has been sitting by herself and there's no problems. As always she's a good little doggie.
• Danish version:
  Da vi hentede Kayleigh, sad hun på skødet af mig hele vejen hjem, og var meget nysgerrig og ikke spor bange. Det næste lange stykke tid, når vi havde hende med nogen steder i bilen, så sad hun på skødet af mig – enten og kiggede ud af forruden eller også lå hun bare og sov. Nogle enkelte gange, når det var varmt, ville hun om og ligge på bagsædet eller på gulvet bag et af forsæderne, men som udgangspunkt sad hun altid og hyggede hos mig.
  Men så begyndte der at være så meget i medierne om hvordan både personer og hunde kunne komme meget seriøst til skade, hvis hunden sad løst i bilen og man var nødt til at lave en hård opbremsning, så vi begyndte at overveje alternativer.
  Vi havde ikke lyst til at komme hende i et bur i bagagerummet, så enden på det blev, at vi købte hende en lille fin sikkerhedssele.
  Første gang hun skulle have den på, sad jeg omme ved hende, så hun kunne vænne sig til det, men derefter har hun siddet selv og der er bare ingen problemer. Som altid er hun bare en dygtig lille basse!
